Dam Update
The NH Dam Bureau replaced the 3' diameter culvert with a 4' diameter one. The new culvert is  set about 1' lower. They have also recently completed the construction of the down stream headwall. The new headwall has a cutout for a second 3' diameter culvert which will be installed next winter when they reconstruct the dam. 

 
                  Neighborhood News

Helen Ippolito:  As some may know, Michele Karlberg lost her dad, Vincent, back in December.  Vincent was a past president of the PLA.  We are saddened to hear Michele's mom, Helen, passed in early January. 
Lillian Newcomb: Our sincere condolences for Lillian's family.  Sadly she passed away on May 1, 2010 following a long illness.  Lillian and her husband, Lenny who passed away several years ago, enjoyed many years of retirement on the lake.  Lillian's gentle spirit and kind heart will be greatly missed.
